Named for the city that created the style, our amber lager is malt forward with a grassy, crackery hop aroma. A classic blend of German malts and hops gives this complex lager notes of biscuit and caramel in its finish.

On tap.

A - Dark gold colored pour with light carbonation and a thin, frothy white head.

S - Very light caramel malt.

T - Nice biscuity light malt base with minimal citrus bitterness. However, the bitterness starts to build after the sip.

M - Medium body with light carbonation.

O - Easy drinking and could see this as a beer fridge staple.

It's an alright swill. Nothing memorable about it. Will do on a hot summer day.

It does have a pleasant light amber color though. Smell, taste, aroma - near non-existent.

Meh.

From a can. Pours an orange-gold with a finger of thick white foam that fades to a nice lace on the surface and glass, hazy. The nose is malty and sweet with some grassy and herbal hops. The flavor has the same hops notes only slightly stronger. There is a toasted grain and dried hay flavor as well. Medium bodied with a slight hop bite. Finishes clean and dry. A well made vienna style lager.

On tap at the Bierhall in Stowe.

Copper amber color with bright white cap, 1f. Effervescent. Modest spot and ring lacing.

Crisp roasted malts, grassy, floral hop aromas.

Caramel dry biscuit flavor with some earthy hops.

Light and smooth body with a hop bite.

Excellent Vienna style lager.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, burnt copper color and a moderate white head. The aroma is almost undetectable, which is rather surprising. The taste is sweet and malty with undertones of yeasty bread.

Deep amber with a thick head that turned into a floaty foam after a few minutes. Yeast and a bit of sour on the aroma. Nice mix of flavors, malt with a bit of bitterness and sweetness and maybe a hint of sour. Medium feel, in line with the style. Great drinkability.

2 12oz cans into a tall glass. Best by 2/9/23, so guessing 3 months old.

Looks very nice. Clear reddish amber body with a small white head. This persists throughout leaving pretty good lacing.

Light bready malty aroma.

On tasting, smooth, clean, balanced. Starts a little sweet but the hop note cuts through it.

Mouth a little thinner than I would like, finish a faintly bitter wash.

Overall, like all Von Trapp beers, this is solid, clean, true to the style without being overbearing. I would try anything they put out.

This is a pretty good Vienna-style lager. Decent amount of malt profile, but I was expecting a bit more dark malt character than I got. Definitely has more than their pale lagers, I was just hoping for even more.
